UNSPSC 42271509: Blood gas monitoring sensors

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a blood gas monitoring sensor in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 852849.

UNSPSC 42271509 Blood gas monitoring sensors is a Commodity code that covers electronic vital sign and physiological monitoring equipment used in healthcare delivery — primarily blood pressure cuffs, temperature sensors, and related accessories for emergency medical services and clinical settings. State and local procurement activity under this code spans county health systems, emergency services agencies, and school districts acquiring monitoring hardware, sensors, and associated software to meet clinical compliance and patient safety requirements. The issuing bodies include county fire departments conducting equipment re-solicitations, healthcare districts implementing clinical decision-support platforms, and school nutrition programs installing food safety temperature systems. Work ranges from straightforward equipment purchases and re-bids on incumbent sole-source contracts to broader platform procurements that integrate monitoring sensors as part of larger clinical analytics and compliance infrastructure.

Recent opportunities show activity across the Southeast and Pacific Northwest. Marion County Fire Rescue (Florida) re-solicited blood pressure cuffs and hoses compatible with its LIFEPAK 15S defibrillator in May 2026 (IFB 21044, due May 6, 2026), seeking to challenge an incumbent sole-source designation. Jones County School District (Georgia) issued an Invitation for Bid for a Temperature Monitoring System for school nutrition operations on May 5, 2026 (IFB PE55267NONST2026000000053, due May 22, 2026), including installation, software, 24/7 support, and staff training across seven school locations for a July 2026 contract start with renewal options through 2030. Central Health (Travis County Healthcare District, Texas) issued an RFQ in June 2026 for an AI-powered predictive analytics platform that incorporates clinical decision support and vital sign monitoring data integration across safety-net populations and Medicaid programs, with mandatory HIPAA, HITECH, and NIST AI Risk Management Framework compliance. Sourcewell (Minnesota) issued an RFP in May 2026 (RFP 061626, due June 16, 2026) for law enforcement equipment on behalf of participating counties across Washington and multiple states, though this opportunity is tangentially related to the code's core medical monitoring scope.
